November 10th

8 UNI (2-4 2-6) @ 10 USD (0-6 1-8) This would be the most hilarious 'first' valley win USD could acquire. Alas UNI will most likely win.

7 YSU (2-4 5-4) @ 9 WIU (1-5 2-6) YSU's has really had the wheels fall off... but they eek out a win over WIU

1 SDSU (5-1 7-2) @ 1 NDSU (5-1 8-1) dome field advantage, the defense amazes the bunnies.

not alot of diversity in this weeks picks

[Jacked_Rabbit]

Figured I should provide a little diversity...

UNI @ USD - USD may hang around for the first have, but UNI will ultimtely pull away and take control on the road. Panthers win 34-17.

YSU @ WIU - YSU finally got off the schnied last week, and nobody has been playing worse than Western. Penguins win 30-13.

SDSU @ NDSU - Nobody is giving SDSU a chance to win this one, which is exactly how we like it. Jacks pull off the upset and win in a defensive struggle, 13-10.

8 UNI (2-4 2-6) @ 10 USD (0-6 1-8) UNI by 4 TDs

7 YSU (2-4 5-4) @ 9 WIU (1-5 2-6) YSU by 3 TDs

1 SDSU (5-1 7-2) @ 1 NDSU (5-1 8-1) NDSU by 2 TDs

[swaghook]

UNI @ USD

YSU @ WIU

SDSU @ NDSU

[BeardifulBobb]

8 UNI (2-4 2-6) @ 10 USD (0-6 1-8) As awesome as it would be for the coyotes to win, UNI is to have a pretty easy win.

7 YSU (2-4 5-4) @ 9 WIU (1-5 2-6) WIU hasn't been able to do much on offense the whole season. Youngstown state wins by 10.

1 SDSU (5-1 7-2) @ 1 NDSU (5-1 8-1) This could easily go either way. The Bison need to get their offense going. They cant be giving free points to Bunnies. The Bison Defense might have to make some plays to win it. Very Close Game.

[LeeshaJo]

8 UNI (2-4 2-6) @ 10 USD (0-6 1-8) Might be closer than three touchdowns, but I doubt it.

7 YSU (2-4 5-4) @ 9 WIU (1-5 2-6) - YSU needs this to keep a slim playoff chance alive. WIU is, well, WIU

1 SDSU (5-1 7-2) @ 1 NDSU (5-1 8-1) - My gut feeling is SDSU is going to pull this off. Won't be pretty but Jacks by a field goal.

[Jacked_Rabbit]

8 UNI (2-4 2-6) @ 10 USD (0-6 1-8) UNI by 4 TDs

7 YSU (2-4 5-4) @ 9 WIU (1-5 2-6) YSU by 3 TDs

1 SDSU (5-1 7-2) @ 1 NDSU (5-1 8-1) NDSU by 2 TDs

I hope you are just using reverse psychology here, Miller.

[Bisonforlife]

These are all likely to be correct in my opinion.

Ooooo so close to 10-0 for the past 2 weeks of MVFC picks. I'd say about 8 seconds to be exact....argh SIU. Anyway 9-1 for those weeks, and now onto Valley week #11.....

Winners:

UNI......Panthers continue their late season run

YSU.....Guins still on a path to win out and finish a very respectable 7-4 and WIU is well....WIU

NDSU...First step toward earning another MVFC crown, and I just see the Bison taking care of business at home and riding over the Jacks. It should be an absolute dandy in a couple weeks when NDSU travels to Normal and Hancock Stadium where the ISU Redbirds have a real shot at becoming Valley co-champs.

Not sure what to think when all the talking heads around FCS have marginalized what EVERY rating source has confirmed as head-and-shoulders this seasons BEST FCS conference....The MVFC. There is no way the Valley should only be getting 3 teams to rep our conference in the playoffs. It will be what it will be though, and IMHO the MVFC teams that do go into the playoffs should go in with a SERIOUS chip on their shoulders for being disrespected throughout this season. It's time to take some FCS scalps come playoff time....oooo yeah! Looking forward to MVFC week #11...YES xthumbsupx

[Professor Chaos]

Northern Iowa @ South Dakota - UNI sure could've used one of these teams they've played the last couple weeks sandwiched in their early season schedule gauntlet before their season was lost.
Youngstown St @ Western Illinois - I used to think WIU was better than most thought, now they may be worse than most everyone thought.

Only 3 games so might as well get a little wordy with the big one:

South Dakota St @ North Dakota St - I think two things happen that win the game for the Bison; they don't turn it over (1 at most) and they hold Zenner under 100 yards rushing. The game is tight until halftime then the Bison get TDs on their first two possessions of the 2nd half to take a 3 score lead. SDSU scores early in the 4th to make things a bit tighter but the NDSU defense dominates them for the most part. Bison 24, Jacks 13.

[DoubleE]

looks like the MVFC is going to get atleast 4 with an outside shot of getting 5 into the playoffs.

Locks (NDSU, SDSU, Illinois State)

Possible (ISUb, YSU)

If YSU wins vs ISUb on saturday then YSU would be in as the 4th team and maybe ISUb as the 5th. If ISUb wins then ISUb is in as 4th and there is no 5th team

Wishful thinking. There is zero chance mvfc gets 5. Very small chance of 4 even. NDSU ISUr SDSU is the playoff field and that's it.

I dont see either an 8 win ISUb or a 7 D1 win (1 a bcs win) YSU being out of the playoffs. could it happen ? possible, but i dont see that many at larges with better resumes to prevent 4 from getting in
